Hotels near Honiara Botanical Gardens, Honiara

We stayed in the luxury waterfront villa, it was very nice but a few things were not as they described. First off we had the unit that was closest to the ocean but when you looked straight out of your room what you actually saw is the side of the restaurant, you could also see the ocean but the restaurant being the first thing you see wasn’t ideal. We also were expected a working jacuzzi but it was empty of water and smelled because the lid was closed and with it being hot and humid it smelled bad. I asked the front desk and they said you have to tell them ahead of time if you want to use the jacuzzi, there wasn’t anything on the reservation that told us we needed to notify them beforehand. The villa was very nice and had plenty of room, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom plus it was very nice to have a fridge. The food at both restaurants was good and there is a ****** but we never went there. Staff was very nice and helpful. It is a nice place that I would stay at again!

Really great, nice rooms, best location, friendly staff, clean and modern rooms, have recommended to friends and will visit again, thanks to all the team at Grace Hotel

This place is genuinely really good. I booked it because one it was super cheap, perhaps cheapest in Honiara and second it was in a central location. A supermarket, telekom and restaurants are all within walking distance. The staff were super helpful especially the ladies who checked me in, Turkena and her colleague. They helped me with my sim card. I had misplaced my keys and my dates of stay had changed and they were super empathetic about it all and helped me out. I'd easily stay here, I mean come on 90 bucks a night in a central location is a bargain!

It should be the best hotel in Solomon. The room is small but has a balcony and a good green environment. The hotel service is thoughtful. The room booked does not include breakfast. The on-site charge is 145. The five-star hotel charges are very reasonable. recommend!

Stayed for two weeks in May-June 2023. Positive: -- extremely central location, walking distance to almost everything (Honiara is not very big) -- super friendly and helpful staff -- the bento box in the Japanese restaurant is surprisingly good -- powerful air conditioning, which you will appreciate after a day in Honiara -- has a generator for when the power goes off (which happens) Neutral: -- has all the basics: refrigerator, aircon, TV all worked fine -- no issues with cleanliness, maid service every day -- no issues with water pressure or heat -- swimming pool is small but clean, I did laps there most nights with no problems -- laundry service is pricey but otoh is lightning fast: my laundry came back ironed in well under 24 hours -- make sure your door is firmly closed or you'll get mosquitos Negative: -- wi-fi is bad: slow, sometimes drops, and charges you extra for use beyond 100 MB /day. If you can, get a local SIM card and hotspot off that. It's cheaper and faster. -- breakfast is not free and is pretty miserable. It's 100 SBD (about US $13) for corn flakes, stale bread, coffee, and fruit. The fruit is fresh and local but that's about all I can say for it. After a few days I just started going next door to the Breakwater Cafe, which gives a much nicer array of breakfast offerings for about the same price. -- there's a club next door, which can be loud on weekends. It didn't bother me but if you're sensitive to that sort of thing, be aware. -- there's a small beach right behind the hotel... which is covered with trash. You probably wouldn't want to swim there anyway (the Mendana is in the middle of town and very near the port) but it's nasty to look out your window at a garbage-strewn beach. Surely this could be fixed? -- no exercise room Basically this is the medium-price hotel in Honiara. The Heritage and Coral Sea are nicer but more expensive (usually -- prices in Honiara can fluctuate a lot). I found the Mendana perfectly okay. The only major negative was the wifi. Fix that and I'd give back half a star.
